When I was a kid, one of my parents' friends had a fun idea she shared with us. She posed the thought that maybe all the different religions were real and the world was just a game of chess they were playing with us as pieces.

I think we are a science experiment. Not limited to religion.

I read a really fun new age book titled something like "the most attractive place in the universe". It was all kinds of woowoo psuedo-judeo-christian but there were fun ideas in it.

What follows is a rough summary of some of those ideas an in no way represent my view of the cosmos.

Stars are angels and solar radiation is the method of sending divine instructions to creation. Our sun is Lucifer and our solar system is an experimemt in free will which makes it a desirable place for our celestial selves to choose to be incarnated. It is supposed to be a school as well as experimental lab of sorts but because free will is so attractive souls keep reincarnating here which is causing issues.

There was a whole lot more going on but this was like 30 years ago that I read it.

Even some Christian texts acknowledge that their God isn't the only God, he is just the one you are supposed to worahip.

YHVH was the Canaanite god of war. Different tribes/groups would prefer one god over another. There were even specific deities for some cities/cities which devoted themselves to one god above others.

Edit to add the wikpedia page for Yahweh
